Sand (#24, Limestone)
Applications & Uses
Sand - Limestone, #24 Size
#24 limestone sand is a finely graded construction aggregate produced by crushing and screening natural limestone rock. The #24 size range refers to its fine particle size, which is ideal for applications requiring a smooth, compactable material.
The limestone attribute gives this sand a light color and excellent binding properties, making it especially suitable for use as a base layer beneath pavers, bricks, or flagstone patios. Its fine texture allows for easy leveling and compaction, resulting in a stable, even surface. #24 limestone sand is also commonly used for pipe bedding, masonry work, and as a component in concrete mixes. While its fine size ensures a smooth finish and good compaction, it may not be ideal for drainage applications where coarser aggregates are preferred. Overall, this material is valued for its versatility, workability, and clean appearance in both residential and commercial projects.
